Reports in Zoho Projects includes options such as, Gantt chart, Resource utilization charts, and Zoho Reports across all projects for a particular user. Furthermore, you can get a bird's eye view of all tasks / milestones completion status across projects within minutes.
Gantt chart is a visual representation of the project schedule. It displays information about the various tasks such as task progress, task owner, task status and other task details. In Zoho Projects, you can view the Gantt chart in two different views:
Milestone Gantt: Milestones, Task lists and Tasks are displayed based on their hierarchy in the project. Milestones are represented as a red rhombus, and Task lists as black horizontal bars and Tasks in various colors as horizontal Gantt bars.
Chronology Gantt: Gantt bars are displayed based on the order of the start date in the project. Tasks and subtasks are represented in various colors as horizontal Gantt bars.

In Reports & Gantt Charts, click Resource Utilization to view the chart.
-or-

The Resource Utilization gives an overview of how your team member's time is being utilized. With Zoho Projects you can achieve complete visibility into resource utilization and track over allocation, idle and optimum allocation of tasks.
It visually shows the allocated work in hours and percentage. You can easily find out if a work exceeds the business hours or is within the business hours or equalizes the business hours. The idle time is also reflected. If a resource is over allocated you can manage the over allocated work for that resource by dragging the task bar to another resource or another day with available business hours. You can directly add tasks on the chart for any selected user and search for any resource using the Search Users option.
Filter the resource chart based on User, Period, Allocation type, Work Time Unit, and Task Status. And select the Save this Filter checkbox to save the filtered criterion. This saved filter is permanently available even after you sign out or navigate between tabs; it is applied across all the projects in the portal. However, if you don't opt to save the filter, it will be temporarily available until the page is refreshed.
Plus you can also convert the chart to a pdf file using the Convert to pdf option at the top right corner next to Filter.
The recurring tasks are displayed virtually in both the Gantt and Resource utilization charts based on their recurring frequency. Only the recurring task that is active is displayed as task bar, whereas the remaining recurring tasks are displayed in dotted lines, just as a reminder for your convenience about the project schedule.
You can edit only the active recurring tasks; the virtual recurring tasks cannot be edited. And neither can you perform any actions on those virtual tasks.
